Ce que tu vas apprendre
Prêt(e) à te lancer dans l'aventure de l'anglais ? Super ! Ce chapitre est ta porte d'entrée vers la langue de Shakespeare. Oublie le stress, ici on pose les fondations de ta future maîtrise. Tu vas commencer par maîtriser le verbe 'être' (am, is, are), un pilier indispensable pour dire qui tu es, d'où tu viens, ou comment tu te sens. 'I am', 'you are', 'he is'... tu verras, ça deviendra un réflexe naturel ! Ensuite, on découvrira comment parler de l'existence ou de la localisation avec 'There is' et 'There are'. Tu pourras dire facilement s'il y a quelque chose quelque part, par exemple : 'There is a cafe near here!' (Il y a un café près d'ici !). On t'expliquera aussi comment utiliser 'It' pour le temps qu'il fait ou l'heure ('It is sunny', 'It is 3 o'clock'). Ces bases solides sont parfaites pour te présenter ou demander si un lieu existe. Imagine, tu pourras déjà échanger des informations simples en voyage ! Après ça, on plongera dans une petite règle essentielle : l'accord sujet-verbe, cette fameuse petite lettre 's' qu'on ajoute aux verbes quand le sujet est 'he', 'she', 'it' ou un nom singulier. C'est une astuce cruciale pour que tes phrases sonnent juste. Et bien sûr, tu apprendras à utiliser le verbe 'have' (avoir) dans ses formes 'have' et 'has' pour parler de ce que tu possèdes ('I have a dog') ou pour décrire quelqu'un ('She has long hair'). À la fin de ce chapitre, tu seras capable de construire des phrases anglaises claires et correctes tout seul(e), comme un(e) vrai(e) bâtisseur(euse) de mots. Tu auras toutes les clés pour des conversations simples et concrètes au quotidien. Prêt(e) à épater la galerie avec tes premières phrases bien formées ?

Overview
am, is, are), which helps us describe who we are, where we are, and how we feel. We'll also explore how to say something exists using 'there is' and 'there are', and get super clear on how words like have change for different people. Plus, we’ll learn the clever ways English uses words like 'it' and 'there' for everyday talk about time and weather.How This Grammar Works
I am happy, You are a student, She is in London.am with I, is with he/she/it, and are with you/we/they. This is a core part of matching subjects and verbs, making sure your sentences sound correct.There is a book on the table (one book), or There are two pens here (many pens). This is another example of subject-verb agreement in action, where the verb (is or are) matches the noun that follows (a book or two pens).have (e.g., I have a car, We have a meeting).he, she, and it: they use 'has'. For example, He has a new phone, She has a great idea. This s ending for he/she/it is a common pattern in present simple verbs in English, often called the 'S' Rule.It is sunny, It is 3 o'clock. And 'there' is used to introduce the existence of something, as we saw with 'there is/are': There are many people here.Common Mistakes
- 1Mixing up 'is' and 'are' with 'there'
There are a big problem.There is a big problem.is or are) should agree with the noun *after* 'there'. 'A big problem' is singular, so it needs is.- 1Forgetting the 's' with 'have' for 'he/she/it'
She have a cat.She has a cat.he, she, and it, the verb 'have' changes to has in the present simple. This is a very common S rule to learn!- 1Incorrectly using 'it' for existence instead of 'there'
It is a nice park in the city.There is a nice park in the city.it for general statements about weather, time, or opinions (It is cold, It is good). Use there to introduce the existence or presence of something.Real Conversations

Almost! There are many emails today.A

How do I know when to use am, is, or are in English?
You use am with I (I am). You use is with he, she, and it (He is, She is, It is). You use are with you, we, and they (You are, We are, They are). It's all about matching the right form of 'to be' to the person or thing you're talking about!
What's the main difference between there is and it is?
There is tells you that something exists or is located somewhere (There is a coffee shop nearby). It is tells you about the condition, time, or characteristic of something already known or generally understood (It is cold today, It is my favorite color).
Why does have change to has sometimes?
In English, for present simple sentences, the verb 'have' changes to 'has' only when the subject is 'he', 'she', or 'it' (or a singular noun that represents them, like 'my friend' or 'the dog'). For all other subjects (I, you, we, they), it stays have.
Cultural Context
I am becomes I'm, there is becomes there's, and it is becomes it's. This informal contraction is very common and makes speech flow faster.Exemples clés (8)
